The Wayfarer has a lot going for it. The location is close to the Convention Center (10 minutes walk), and there are many good restaurants and attractions nearby to fill out a business trip lasting a few days. I was able to walk to Little Tokyo, Walt Disney Auditorium, MOCA, Angel's Flight, the Last Bookstore, the Central Library, St. Vincent Court, LA Live, the Broad, Bunker Hill steps... there is a lot to do in DTLA. There's good food and drink in the lobby, and a rooftop restaurant and bar with the best views in the city. The rooms are appealing in a boutique kind of way, meaning they are smaller than normal hotel rooms, no-frills, but have creative touches (no closet but there are pegs on the wall; there's a desk but it's at stand-up height, or you can sit on a provided bar stool). There are great plug-ins, the bathrooms are well equipped, and the Wifi is good. I thought the bed was comfortable. The room lighting and atmosphere create a downtempo vibe, quite relaxing. Between the first time I stayed there right before the pandemic and the second, I felt the rooms took a bit of a beating; on my 2nd visit some of the drawers were off their rails and the bathroom seemed just a bit more grimy than I would like. I noted a couple additional issues, some of which could be addressed. The staff is friendly but I want them to banish the irritating phrase "Welcome in." How about just "Welcome," or... "Hello"? They were using some kind of strong floral scent in the lobby. It didn't get into the rest of the hotel, but it discouraged me from spending time downstairs. There was a day when I was counting on grabbing a croissant before my conference, but they randomly did not have any food available at breakfast. The other issue is that because the restaurant serves the general public, and the rooftop seems to be especially popular, there are tons of potentially loud and intoxicated people going in and out all the time, including in the guest elevators. You use your room key to access your floor, but with all the traffic, it does not feel all that private. There is a complementary 5 pm beer pour, which is cool, but the bartender seemed unclear on whether that's a daily benefit or once per stay. Seems like it should be pretty clear. Later I determined there's a daily amenity fee so it should be a daily beer. Out of a four night stay, there was only one day that I was present in the 5 pm hour anyway, so I didn't bring it up with the desk staff. (I still had to pay the fee every day.) Maybe, since the guests are paying, let them use the beer coupons any time the bar is open? And give them one per day if the barkeep is going to collect them? An amazing speakeasy has been installed in the basement, but it was never open for business during the hours I was at the hotel. Seems like a lost opportunity to pick up some late-night business. I tried sitting down there to do work on my computer but was told to leave. As an idea, they could turn it into a guests-only space at night to make up for all the traffic in the lobby. I'd return to the Wayfarer DTLA next time. It seems like a bit of a canvas where there could be some cool changes made. I might also be interested in seeing what you get in this part of town if you spend a bit more money.
